|" Music Hath Charms"

Sir John Hawking, in his History
of Music" quotes an author who
speaks of lion he had seen in Lon
don which would forsake his food to lis
ten to tune. Bears, too, have from
the earliest times been taught to dance
to the sound of music. Monkeys have
keen ear for rhythm, and have been
taught to dance to music on the tight
rope. Bourdelot speaks of monkey
which all Paris at one time went to
see, that, dressed as woman, danced
minuet in cadence with his mas
ter.
The educated horse of the circus
owes a great deal to the influence Of
music. He marches, trots, gallops,
advances, retires, and even dances to
the lively strains of the orchestra.
He can also be taught to preform
the music on his own account and to
beat q kettledrum with his fore feet.
When cows are sulky, milkmaids in
the Highlands of Scotland often sing
to them to restore them to good hu-
NOR. In France the oxen that work in
the fields are regularly sung to as an
encouragement to exertiOn, and no
peasant has the slightest doubt that
the animals listen to him with pleas
ure.
The cheering influence of music is
seen in the case of camels. During the
long and painful marches the conduc-

tors of a caravan often comfort theil
camels by playing on instruments. The
music has such an effect that, how
ever fatigued they may be by theil
heavy loads, the animals step out with
renewed vigor.
Elephants have good ears, and may
be trained as musical performers.
Quite recently small elephant with
surprising amount of cultivated in.
telligence was exhibited in London
Among many feats it playeda a VIII ole
band of music at once; there were
bells on its head, and it used its trunk
and fore feet to play other instru'
ments.
Recognizing the love of horses fol
music wealthy enthusiast in the lat
ter part of the seventeenth century
had regular concerts provided for the
benefit of his stud. Jacques Bonnet
when in Holland in 1888, visited the
stable and saw there the raised orches-
ira from which, once a week, a selec.
ton of favorite airs was played to
cheer up the spirits of the listening
animals.
Deers are delighted with the sound
of music. Playford, in his Intro
duction to music" says: Myself, as
I travelled some years since near
Royston, met herd of stags, about
twenty, on the road, following a bag.
pipe and violin. When the music
played they went forward. When it
ceased they stood still, and in this
manner were brought up out of York
shire to Hampton Court"
On sheep and cattle, music, both
vocal and instrumental, has highly
beneficial effect. There is a poetic
saying among the Arabs that the song
of the shepherd fattens the sheep more
than the richest pasture of the plains
and the saying rests, no doubt, on a
foundation of fact. Eastern shep-
herds are in the habit of singing and
piping to quicken the action of the
flocks under their charge.

A Female Government.

THE UNIQUE STATE OF AFFAIRS AT STOCK
TON, CALIFORNIA.
(As reported by an exchanged
At the late municipal election at
Stockton, Cal, in order to show the
people at large the ability (or inability
Of women in general to grasp political
and financial questions, the male por-
ton Of the voters in that municipality
entirely refrained from attending the
polls, and an entire female board for
city government was elected without
opposition.
What bonanza the Stockton papers
will have in this council during the
next year. How enlightning and ed
flying will be the sessions and discus
sions of this august body. How
practical will be the legislation en-
anating from this female council.
We may expect TO have decisions
now ON the most popular shade oi
pink ribbons, what dress fabric should
be worn during the summer, and
which is the most serviceable brand oi
gloves. We shall also know the most
fashionable shade of stockings, for all
and every of which we shall be truly
grateful.
Imagine the far-reaching legislation
which will be inangurated, and the
discussion Of affairs pertaining to the
welfare of the city which will take
place. What an influence q good
looking men would have in favor of q
pet project he might advocate, and
woe betide the schemes of the home
ly man. Such as the following we
may expect to see:
Mr.. Smith (homely), who appears
in favor Of q franchise for q street-rail-
road which he will build, contracting
that the fare will be but y cents
while Mr. Jones (good-looking aud
well-dressed) also desires a franchise
for street-railroad, but states that his
road could not charge less fare than
5 cents.
Mrs. Brown, council-woman from
the second ward.-" I move that the
petition of Mr.. Jones be accepted, and
. franchise be granted him for street
railroad. I think he is just too sweet
for anything"
Mrs. Black, councilman from the
third Ward.-"I would ask why the
franchise Of Mr.. Smith, who proposes
to charge p cents fare, should be re.
jected while that of Mr.. Jones, charg.
ing double the price should be accept
ed"
Mrs. Brown" Mr.. Smith, think
is just too horrid for anything, and il
too homely to make a scare-crow
while Mr.. Jones is too sweet for any
thing, SO there now."
Result-Mr. Jones gets his fran
chise.

A FATAL MISTAKr.

IA IA 1I1L W1O ANL~ =
THE Cleueland (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted tho
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by. a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as q
faint "an gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. 1'henfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. AL prescribed REM
edies failing to give relief, q
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had q cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of Dr.
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, Dr.. ;
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have q cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband Of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects ofa
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration flor
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roors, or SEIoEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex.
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence Of its
efficacy in curing this class Of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy,
do not question it's convincing
nature, and the article has q
extensive sale.

FARMERS MEETING,

The CLARENDON aSticuttuia1 NOeio'y
held a meeting in the Court House
last Saturday, in furtherance OF q pub
lished notice. The meeting was open
ed by the President of the Society IL
brief speech, pointing out the bene,
fits to farmers, Of farmers organlza'
tions The purpose of the meeting
was two fold; first, the discussion OF
manure 'leeching," and second, the
election of delegates to the Farmers
Encampment at Spartanburg. The
discussion commenced with Mr.. L. Il.
DesChamps, whose remarks showed
that he had an intelligent, practica!
appreciation of this valuable factor in
making good crops. Mr.. Deschamps
said that after careful thought, and
practical experiments, he disagreed
with the common opinion, that man
ure lost the greater part of its strength
from gradual ABSORPTION by the earth.
Volatile evaporation, produced by the
heat of the sun after q rain, he con-
tended, did much the more damage to
farmers by exhausting the strength OF
the manure. Mr.. DesChamps has
partially promised US an essay for pub
lication on this subject Messrs.
Mitchum, Childers, Baker, PEBBLES,
and others made brief speeches giving
their views. The discussion was very
pleasant and not without profit to the
tillers of the soil The debate conclud.
ed, the President, Hon. James E. Tin
dal delivered an address of about
half hours length. In the strongest
language he pictured to his audience
their dependence on farmers organ
ization, without " hich, he claimed, the
farmers of the country, twenty-five
years hence, would enjoy no more po-
litical rights than the emancipated
slaves of to-day. Mr.. Tindal cited the
condition of the laboring class of Ger
many, who he said wele forced to live
on black bread on account of the op'
preston of the landlords in towns and
citi-s. The farmers were warned that
this would be their fate unless they
banded themselves into ,ssociatioLs
and as a body, assert and maintain
their rights and political privileges.
The people in municipalities. the poll
ticians of the land all are grinding
down, depressing the poor farmer, he
declared. Mr. Tindal said, that he
had been talked about and abused be-
cause he streneously advocated the
farmers movement. Yet he had de-
clared his convictions in public places,
in the Court House, on the stump, Il
the halls OF the Legislature, and nc
one there had the boldness to attack
what be said; but cowardly, they talk
ed OF him behind his back.
The next and last business before
the meeting was the election of dele.
gates to the Grange Encampment
4 committee was appointed who re-
commended Messrs. James E. Tindal
L. Il. DesChamps, and A. L. Lesesne

stes. A unanimous vote adopted the
recommendation. The meeting the1
